(A) It shall be a parking violation for the operator of any vehicle to stop or park the vehicle in a manner other than with its right-hand side toward and parallel with the curb, except that where parking is permitted on the left side of a one-way street, the left-hand side shall be so parked, and except for commercial loading and unloading on one-way streets.
(B) No vehicle shall be parked or left standing on any street unless its two right wheels are within six (6) inches of and parallel with the curb, with the following exceptions:
(1) On one-way streets where parking is permitted on the left side, the two left wheels are to be within six (6) inches of and parallel with the curb.
(2) When there is an on-street bikeway on the pavement adjacent to the right-hand curb of a one-way or two-way street, no vehicle shall be parked or left standing upon the right-hand side of the one-way or two-way street unless its two right wheels are within six (6) inches of and parallel with the outside line of the buffer area between the bikeway and the parking zone.
(3) When there is an on-street bikeway on the pavement adjacent to the left-hand curb of a one-way or two-way street where parking is permitted, no vehicle shall be parked or left standing upon the left-hand side of the one-way or two-way street unless its two left wheels are within six (6) inches of and parallel with the outside line of the buffer area between the bikeway and parking zone.
(C) No vehicle shall be backed to the curb on any street, except that trucks may do so when loading and unloading provided that such loading, unloading, and delivery of property and material shall not consume more than thirty (30) minutes, or unless expressly permitted to do so by duly authorized pavement markings and signage. Such backing of trucks is prohibited at all times and on all streets in Metro Government where any truck so backed interferes with the use of the roadway of moving vehicles or buses or occupies road space within ten (10) feet of the center line of the street.
(D) The Director of Public Works may establish diagonal parking at certain places, requiring the parking of vehicles at a certain angle to the curb and within a certain portion of the roadway adjacent thereto. However, diagonal parking shall not be established where the roadway space required therefore would be within ten (10) feet of the centerline of any street. The Director of Public Works shall designate such places by suitable signs, and shall indicate by markings on the pavement the required angle and the width of the roadway space within which such vehicle shall park.
(E) It shall be a parking violation for the operator of any vehicle to so park such vehicle that any part thereof shall extend beyond the lines marking the side or the rear of the space assigned for one vehicle.
